I thought I'd delay the suspense no longer and show you what I've been working on the past few weeks.
I've decided to sell a few things in my sister's hair/beauty salon in the run up to Christmas. First up is 'Modern Maud':
 |
| zippered inner pocket |
Maud was the name of my Grandmother, whose cast iron treadle Singer got me started sewing as a child (I didn't use an electric machine until I was 30!).
So I thought it fitting to name a bag after her. I made this pattern last year, but have added a few wee extras, like a zippered pocket in the blue cord version, reinforced handles & base.
I've used some IKEA fabrics in these new bags, as well as wadding & some recycled materials (you know me!). These 2 bags are spacious and sturdy and would make great shopping or book bags.
Hope you like them, and more importantly, I hope they sell!
Good for you Jude! I love Maud and hope she sells really well for you.
ReplyDeleteVery posh, they look really nice. I hope you sell loads. I have been planning making things to sell but not got round to in yet.
ReplyDeleteThey look good J! Really well made. If I lived a tad closer I'd be tempted to go and visit them in the shop!
ReplyDeleteYour bags are fantastic, love that orange fabric with the birds!
ReplyDeleteYour bags are awesome, Judith! I love the name (after your grandmother) and your personalized label, too. I hope they sell well :0)
ReplyDeleteLovely lovely bag with great detailing. I love the name Maud even though it's not fashionable these days.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant bags Judith. And of course they will sell. Just make sure you charge enough!!
ReplyDeleteJudith these look great! I'm sure they will be really popular
ReplyDeleteWhat a great adventure you're on!
ReplyDeleteThey'll sell for sure, Judith! I'd love to have one like that. I'm with Susan...charge well.

ReplyDeleteThe bags are beautiful! I am certain they will sell and your challenge will be in keeping up with the demand.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous bags Judith, love them both! Your labels are perfect too :-) Cant wait for the rest of the introductions!
ReplyDeleteLove Modern Maud. She's so stylish and such a great size for all sorts of uses - may she sell well for you. I really like that stripey block fabric on the blue bag and the zippered pocket!
ReplyDeleteI gasped when I saw the two bags - they're wonderful and the customers will be snapping your sister's hand off!! Please give the cord a stroke from me ;o) Good luck with your new venture - we're all wishing you lots of luck!!
